If burning, redness, itching, pain or other symptoms persist or develop, consult physician. Skin: Direct, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin may cause irritation. Inhalation: Inhalation of vapors may cause headache and nausea. Inhalation of dust created when sanding a surface coated with this product can irritate the nose, throat, and the upper respiratory tract. Persons subjected to large amounts of this dust will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as coughing, sneezing and nasal irritation. Labored breathing may occur after excessive inhalation. If respiratory symptoms persist, consult physician. Ingestion: If ingested may cause gastrointestinal discomfort including nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and diarrhea and may be fatal. CHRONIC: Eyes: None known. Skin: None known. Ingestion: No known effects. Inhalation: Exposures to respirable crystalline silica are not expected unless product is ground or otherwise mechanically broken down a respirable size fraction. Exposure is not expected during the normal use of this product. Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis) and/or lung cancer. Repeated and prolonged exposure to iron oxide dust may cause a benign pneumoconiosis called siderosis. The ACGIH recommended limit is set to protect against siderosis, any exposure is expected to remain well below OSHA regulatory and ACGIH recommended limits during normal handling and use of this product. TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin and respiratory system. PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY: Inhalation, eyes and skin contact. SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES FIRST AID PROCEDURES Eyes: In case of contact, do not rub or scratch your eyes. Flush thoroughly with water for 15 minutes to remove particles. Get medical attention immediately. Skin: Wash with mild soap and water. A commercially available hand lotion may be used to treat dry skin areas. If skin has become cracked, take appropriate action to prevent infection and promote healing. If irritation persists, consult physician. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Leave the area of exposure and remain away until coughing and other symptoms subside. Other measures are usually not necessary, however if conditions warrant, contact physician. Ingestion: Get medical attention immediately. MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. Pre-existing skin diseases such as, but not limited to, rashes and dermatitis.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use ventilation to keep vapor concentrations below permissible exposure limits (See Section 2). Where general ventilation is inadequate, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control vapor levels below permissible exposure limits (see Section 2). If engineering controls are not possible, wear a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA-approved vapor respirator.

4 USG FIRECODE Brand Intumiscent Acrylic Firestop Sealant Page 4 of 8 SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (continued) RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator in poorly ventilated areas, and if TLV is exceeded. A respiratory program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eye/Face: Wear safety glasses, goggles or face shield for eye protection. Skin: Wear neoprene gloves for hand protection. Wear adequate clothing to minimize skin contact. Wash clothing on a regular basis. General: Selection of Personal Protective Equipment will depend on environmental working conditions and operations.
